Dear Evan Hansen explores the need for connection in today’s noisy, fast-paced society. It follows Evan, an anxious adolescent who struggles socially, and the highs and lows that unfold when he becomes embroiled in a lie about the circumstances of a troubled classmate’s sudden death. As Evan comes to grips with the falsehoods he’s building, he nonetheless transforms his community, himself and his closet relationships by promoting the idea that everyone deserves to feel seen and valued. Dear Evan Hansen touches on some of the prescient themes affecting young people today, including mental health and addiction struggles, death by suicide, the dangers of social media and family dysfunction.
